Where exactly was McCabe & Mrs. Miller's town built? Any remnants?

In the movie McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971) the primary set was a pretty much functional town (called Presbyterian Church) built over the course of filming in West Vancouver, BC. It was apparently inspired by the nearby Maplewood Mudflats squatter community, a few of whose residents worked as carpenters on set, alongside several US draft dodgers. Crew members actually lived in the set's structures for months. Are there any Vancouverites here who know exactly where in West Vancouver this was built and if any of it remains today?

Since it was clearly up at a higher elevation, I'm wondering if was within what is now Cypress Provincial Park and thus maybe avoided being built-over by subsequent development. This is just based on looking at the area on Google Maps — I'm not actually familiar with that part of Vancouver.
